2018 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0L Diesel · 4 OCT

The vehicle shows a consistent history of brake component wear, specifically regarding the discs and pads. In the most recent test in March 2026 at 65,167 miles, the tester flagged pitted and scored brake discs on both front wheels. This follows a trend seen in February 2025 and February 2024, where rear discs and pads were also identified as worn. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the recurring presence of corrosion on braking surfaces suggests the car may sit for extended periods or is driven in harsh conditions, leading to surface oxidation that eventually requires replacement. At 65,167 miles over eight years, the F-PACE averages approximately 8,146 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a luxury SUV. The mileage record indicates a regular inspection schedule, though a notable failure in February 2024 at 47,888 miles highlights a lapse in preventative maintenance regarding the nearside wiper blade and rear brake pads. The presence of an oil leak from the engine core plug noted in 2023 and 2025 suggests a persistent minor leak that was not addressed between those inspections. Structural and mechanical concerns are beginning to emerge as the vehicle ages. The March 2026 report identified corrosion on the central rear sub-frame. Although not yet at a point of structural failure, this is a critical component that requires close monitoring to ensure the rust does not progress rapidly. A buyer should verify the extent of this sub-frame corrosion and check that the previously oil leak has not escalated into an excessive leak that would necessitate significant engine repairs.
